What Huize Eyckerheyde does

VZW Huize Eyckerheyde is a Belgian non-profit association (Vereniging Zonder Winstoogmerk) operating a residential care facility in Bornem (Wintam), in the Klein-Brabant region of Flanders. The organization provides integrated residential support, day support, school-replacing day care, short-term and respite care, and palliative care for adults and youth (from age 13) with severe to profound intellectual disabilities, often accompanied by additional motor, behavioral-emotional, or complex care needs. It operates 10 living groups of 7-10 residents each and serves more than 90 residents in total, including 16 minors housed within its Multifunctioneel Centrum (MFC), which opened in September 2020 alongside a new building that added four additional living groups. Care is delivered 7 days a week, 365 days a year, by an in-house multidisciplinary team of nurses, doctors, physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and orthopedagogical staff, supported by an external network including Buso Blijdorp for schooling and various mutualities for healthcare coverage.

The organization's revenue model rests almost entirely on the Flemish government's regulated Persoonsvolgende Financiering (PVF) / Personal Budget Funding system administered by VAPH (Vlaams Agentschap voor Personen met een Handicap). Individual care recipients hold personal budgets (PVB) and channel vouchers directly to Huize Eyckerheyde, which invoices VAPH for long-term care; cash payments are accepted only as a short-term exception. A secondary, smaller revenue stream consists of charitable donations (qualifying for tax deduction at €40 or above), funneled via the King Baudouin Foundation's "Because" platform and direct bank transfers. The go-to-market motion is fully referral-driven: adult residents arrive via VAPH, minors via Agentschap Opgroeien, and intake is managed by an internal social service team that handles family inquiries, placement matching, and individualized non-binding cost quotes.

There is no proprietary technology platform disclosed; core technology is unspecified, and the only documented integrations are operational utilities (Microsoft Office Forms for volunteer registration, direct VAPH billing, and basic transport access via Mobit and De Lijn Flexbus). The organization's competitive differentiation is built around its "Sunday rhythm" care philosophy — a low-pressure, individualized support model emphasizing dignity and above-average caregiver attention — combined with formal regulatory recognition as both a licensed VAPH care provider and an MFC. The organization is governed by a board with stakeholder representation through a Collectief Overlegorgaan composed of family members, but no parent company, holding structure, or external investment vehicle is identified.
